Jonathan, 21, described him as a "f**king idiot" who should be "punished or even institutionalised" for what he had done.

"In my opinion he's just a generally bad person. He's always been that way. Just a really bad person,” he told The Sun Online.

"I don't know the family or much about the story but I definitely hope he gets punished for what he's done. Either punished or institutionalised.

"I haven't spoken to my brother for a while - it's been years - and I plan to keep it that way.

"I know he's a f**king idiot but I don't think he'd do something like this for a joke.

"As far as I know he has no issues with drugs or anything like that but he's been in a lot of trouble with the police."

Rini has also reportedly been receiving psychiatric care and at one point was hospitalised.
